One of Fleetwood Boating Lake's beloved geese has sadly died.

HM Coastguard discovered the dead goose whilst training near the lake on the seafront on Saturday.

Volunteers described finding its partner frantically trying to help the dead goose which was found face down in the water.

The team entered the lake to recover the dead goose and reported the death to the Council and Defra (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs).
